Christmas Party Venues in Cronulla

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

Staff who spend most of the year indoors tend to vote for the beach, and an end-of-year party in Cronulla puts the whole team within sight of the surf.

For large headcounts, the top-floor event space at Wanda Surf Club, The Founders Room, runs corporate days for up to 450 standing and can be hired exclusively Monday to Saturday. Summer Salt, on Mitchell Road above Elouera Beach, takes 220 standing or 190 seated, where weekday cocktail events start from $75 per person.

Lining up the team with the room:

A leadership dinner of up to 36: the Beach Club at Bobbys Cronulla, from $5,000 minimum spend on Fridays to Sundays
A team of 50 on a warm evening: the Rydges terrace, Poolside Balcony @ Rydges Cronulla Beachside, with pricing from $45 per person and the Sutherland or Solander room as a wet-weather fallback
A seated company dinner for 110: Sealevel booked outright, from $20,000 minimum spend, with midweek figures on request
A corporate lunch: Bobbys lists corporate lunches among its seated events, with shared set menus for groups of nine or more
Awards before the party: The Founders Room's laser projector, big screen and cordless mics

At Summer Salt, a lunch function has the room between noon and 4pm and an evening one from 6.30pm until 11pm, and weekends cost more than weekdays. Colleagues who'd prefer not to drive can take a room at Rydges Cronulla Beachside.
